Rama "Ronnie" Bhattacharya (September 18, 1925 - November 4, 2019) was a distinguished Maximusian intelligence officer deployed deep undercover in the Daryan army during the Great War. Information recovered by Bhattacharya between 1959 and 1961 was instrumental in alerting the Maximusian government to the impending Daryan invasion. Bhattacharya later served on the 1963 Maximusian Intelligence Commission, which facilitated the formation of the Maximusian Bureau of Security and its daughter organization, the Department of Internal Security. Bhattacharya's life and time undercover were the subject of the 2019 film, Spymaster, which was released shortly before Bhattacharya's death from adenocarcinoma in 2019.
Early Life
Rama Bhattacharya was born on September 18, 1925 in East Lumeniola to Arjun and Parvati Bhattacharya, immigrants from Kurwai, Darya. In 1922, the Bhattacharya family opened Bhattacharya Delicatessen, a small corner-grocery store which would operate under Arjun's management for decades to come. Rama was the middle child, with one older sister (b. 1924) and one younger brother (b. 1927). Bhattacharya was raised in a bilingual household, learning to speak both English and Daryan fluently.
